>>Well from the photos I've seen (and I doubt Toshiba have a better photographer than >Sony) the new Libby also looks damn nice too ... certainly better (and more >seductive!) than the Picturebook IMHO ... > >Aaaahh... "beauty is the mind..." ...huh? 'Black with square corners and hard >edges' vs. 'blue-grey with rounded corners and sloped edges'. *shrug* perhaps I don't like the blue-grey with bubbly rounded corners and plasticy sloping edges. The new Libby seems to look more serious and professional than the Picturebook (which looks like a cross between a toy organizer and an overgrown Casseopia) *waits for the spam!*. The contrasting colors are nice too IMHO. I dunno, the new Libby just look sleeker and 'faster' than the PictureBook from the pictures I've seen. Then again I'm the sort of person that prefers the lines of a DeLorian to the bubbles of a Beetle ... not that I've got anywhere near the wealth to do more than just look at either vehicle :-( >>I don't walk past either laptops in the shops here though because they AREN'T in the >shops here unfortunately ... but if they were I probably would walk past them to get >my saliva running ;-) > >Well... I must say that the photos online don't do either model any justice. No doubt ... but I'm assuming both sets of photos reflect the relevant systems equally. > Nothing like having it there staring at you right in the eyes to experience love at >first sight. That's how I ended up with my 50CT. I saw it before Christmas in 1997 >and wanted it so badly... When I went back to Circuit City (a HUGE chain here in the >USA) after Christmas and found the price slashed $200 to $1399 and a free modem >included to boot... I recall my prophetic words walking out of the store, "I think >this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, Libby." Hehe ... well I can understand your feeling once I got my 50CT a few weeks ago. Particularly nice is the fact that it fits in my jacket pocket (which anything CT100 and above can't do). Its RAM situation is a bit of a problem though (I've only got 16 meg) ... my HDD pages like crazy. Now if only those battery packs that I ordered from the US almost 2 weeks ago will arrive ... - Raymond P.S.
